I was wondering if you guys could help me? I live in England and recently bought these two stamps from a charity shop for £2.50.
They're not in great condition, but having lived in America I was just interested in them but I can't work out if they're a J58, a J44, a J37 or something else entirely?!
You might see the mark by holding it up to light. The usual method is place the patient in a black glass (ashtry) and wet it with watermark fluid, or lighter fluid. If it has either watermark, only part of a letter will be on each stamp.
The stamps are perf 11 and unwatermarked Scott J65b deep claret. The earlier perf 12 double line watermarked deep claret stamps were printed with ink likely to run if soaked.
